Absolutely brilliant from start to finish,went to see Dr O in London for consultation & he was very reassuring,I had to have a repair totummy muscles which had come apart after an NHS operation & also had a lower tummy tuck. So glad I found Dr O through reading reviews &doing my homework on surgery abroad,he has made a very big difference to my life. It was so reassuring knowing if there was any problemsI'd only have to go up to London not back to the country I had the operation. Had an appointment yesterday with Dr O just for him tocheck everything was good & as I thought there was no problems at all. Can't believe how well it's healed. Dr O would make a greatTailor as he's stitching is immaculate. Would highly recommend

I recently had breast augmentation surgery with Dr.O at singelburg clinic and it was the best thing I have ever done. I was wearing AAbra's and even those didn't fit, so I had a consultation with Dr.O who informed me I had a genetic condition which meant I had no breasttissue or fat at all. After our consultation and lots of emails between us I booked in for surgery in May.
I travelled up with my mumon the Eurostar the day before my surgery, which was very easy. We decided to stay at the van der valk hotel beveren which wasabsolutely amazing from start to finish. The food, service and staff were all perfect and the spa facility's were an extra bonus! Theonly downside to the hotel is that it is a bit out of the way from the town and the clinic and a taxi is needed to get places, howeverthis is not the end of the world as after surgery it is a very relaxing, comfortable place to rest and recover.
I was the first personto have my surgery on Friday the 13th of May and Dr.O went above and beyond to put my mind at rest and deal with any worries I had, heeven picked me and my mum up from the hotel the morning of the surgery to take us to the clinic!
The surgery was painless and wentwithout a hiccup and the staff who looked after me were very friendly. I wanted 350cc implants but was warned before the surgery I wasvery unlikely to get these because of how small I orginally was but he promised to try and said he would put as close in as he could, Iended up with 285cc which has now made me a small D, which I am very happy with.
When I come to I was back in my own room with my mumand the nurse. She made sure I was ok and kept checking on me until I woke up properly, I then had water and toast and once I had that Iwas told I could return to my hotel, I wasn't in any pain but I was told to keep topped up on painkillers I had brought the previousday. I couldn't see Dr.O before I went back to my hotel as he was in surgery again however he rung me when he was out to check I was ok.
I stayed at the hotel for two more days, before leaving on the Sunday to return home. This was very pleasant and although I was in alittle bit of pain it was nowhere near as much as expect!
Dr.O visited my hotel room before I left for home to make sure I was ok andmy wounds were healing well and that I was happy.
My train journey home was just as easy as my one out with the only difference beingI couldn't carry my own case.
Since being home I have had many conversations with Dr.O via email about small concerns I have had andhe has been very attentive and interested in how I was doing. I finally had my check up a few appointment days ago which went perfectly.
From start to finish DR.O has been nothing but proffesional, kind and caring. I would not hessiate to recommend him to anyone who asks(which I have already done numerous times) and I will certainly be going back when my time comes to have my implants changed. He hasgiven me so much confidence and happiness in myself and for that I am so grateful!

Im a Swedish MTF going thru the journey of Transitioning.
I have been on hormones for a while, but my face was still way too masculineto be able to pass in public.
I Previously had Rhinoplasty and a chin reduction in Scandinavia to try to Feminize my face, but itdidn't turned out very good so I decided to go for a Professional in Facial Feminization.
I also had a previous jaw surgery in Swedento correct an overbite, which gave me an even manlier jawline.
After a lot of research and consultations I went for The SingelbergClinic and Dr Van der Dussen.
The consultation was really good. I had some mail contact before with his assistant Marije, who hasbeen taking care of the booking and traveling instructions etc. I also got some drawings on what we were aiming.
My chin was verymasculine and square, so the Doctor had to do a sliding genioplasty to remove a lot of bone and also move the chin as It was assymetricbefore.
Turned out this was a challenging operation as they had to work under a nerve, so I'm happy I choose someone experienced forthis.
The nose had an "open roof deformity" and bad scaring from the previous surgery and was also way too masculine for atransgendered woman.
It took me some time to heal, and although I consider myself being a stable person mentally, I must admit that Iwas a bit depressed during the healing period with the swelling and bruising . It just takes time before the swelling goes away and theresult shows up.
Now one year later, I look much more feminine and with the help of hormones things are finally staring to shape up.I still have the adam's apple, some hair removal and I don't even wanna think about the lower surgeries...but i'm definitely on theright track.
Overall Im very happy that I went down to Belgium for this.
I put some before after photos on real self with picturesfrom about 1 year ofhealing.

I am 19 years old and had wanted a BA for years due to being highly flat chested. I had my BA in August after having a consultation withDr Oelbrandt who i must say was ever so friendly, answered all my questions and really put me at ease. Tahira his secretary was alsovery quick to reply to emails and very informative. I was also able to contact Dr O with any concerns i had and he replied very quickly.The surgery was performed in belgium at the singelberg clinic, i travelled alone and it all went smoothly. The clinic itself was veryclean, the staff were lovely and made me feel very calm.
I had 275 cc mentor implants, I wanted a natural look and Dr O reallyunderstood this. When trying the sizers on i originally wanted smaller but he reassured me that 250cc would be slightly small. I mustsay i am so happy i trusted him as i am so happy with the size and they are not too big at all which i was worried about. I now wearbras between 32C and 32D depending on the brand and i couldn't be happier.

Dr Oelbrandt is professional, very friendly and knowledgeable. I have now had two procedures by him and have had outstanding experienceswith both. I always have my questions answered pretty much immediately which meant no stress and my mind was at ease. I am extremelyhappy with the end results of my breast enhancement from a 34 B to a 34 D and also with my lower face liposuction. The facilities aregreat and I stayed in a lovely hotel which was recommended by Dr O I am sure to be back for more work In the future! highly recommend.

Last year I had a facelift done in Belgium, by Dr Oelbrandt and the results were so food and natural that I went back for a tummy tuck.I could not be more pleased. The scars have already started to disappear after a month (no scars left whatsoever from the face lift) andmy body does not look like that of a 50 year old, but more like that of a 30 year old. Dr O listens very well, is extremely clever andcompassionate, and goes the extra mile (or 10). Travelling to Belgium from the UK is very easy, but I hope that his wife will soon opena B&B near the hospital, because that would really make the whole experience even smoother.... The price is also very reasonable!

I had done lots of research about getting a tummy tuck in the UK where I was quoted £6000!
I couldn't quite come to terms withspending so much so I found Dr Oelbrandt online and did my research again he looked fantastic nothing but great reviews andqualifications and half the price!
As I know it's very scary the thought of going abroad!
I had my consultation appointment in Londonwhere I first met Dr Oelbrandt he was very nice after the appointment I emailed his pa to arrange dates of when I wanted it done I wentfor august 2015
We drove to Belgium via ferry very easy as we stayed in Belgium as a pre holiday before op.
The hospital was lovelyvery clean and nice staff
After the tummy tuck I was in hurendous pain but only natural as had a full tummy tuck and did tell drOelbrandt I wanted a iron board tummy!
He did pre warn me the tighter he goes the more painful it is!
But I was happy withthat.
Later on after surgery dr Oelbrandt did come to check on me check my tummy and show me.
I stayed a night in the hospital wich Iwas very greatful I couldn't of left I couldn't even get up for a wee!
The next day my husband collected me I'm very glad we broughta wheel chair with us as I did read a review a lady said she couldn't walk! Neither could I!
Dr Oelbrandt gave me a prescription forpainkillers and dressings there was a pharmacy around the corner from the hospital.
We stayed at the hotel beveren beautiful hotel whenI go back will defenitly stay there.
When returning to the hotel dr Oelbrandt came to vist me to check my tummy to see all was ok andto make sure I was well to go home.
He also said I could call, text , email anytime for anything wich was very reassuring.
I didcontact Dr Oelbrandt when I got back he called me straight away he was fantastic.
So I left to go home and recover all was well was inalot of pain and it was a very long recovery more then what I expected!
I had my 4 month check up in London and Dr Oelbrandt was verypleased.
It's now nearly 9 months on and I am so so pleased with my tummy dr Oelbrandt has given me my life back!
I am confidentagain I can wear nice clothes and a bikini!
I had a horrible huge fold apron of skin from having my children and losing weight.
Iwould like a breast lift and will 100% be going back to Dr Oelbrandt he is fantastic.
Thank you dr Oelbrandt

Previously looked into breast enlargement twice many years apart
Started researching and came across the singelberg clinic, there isalways that worry of having treatment abroad but there is definitely no need to worry with the singelberg clinic ,
Great customerservice as such,
Having a consultation a good 8 weeks prior to travelling to Belgium
Was made to feel at ease during consultation inLondon and all questions asked and answered
During our stay in Belgium once again communication was great could contact at anytime viaema or text for any last minute panic questions,
Once arriving at the clinic in Belgium the care was great one last consultation toconfirm everything spoke about in London
After surgery was able to leave the clinic we stayed locally for 2 nights ( just in case) butall was good didn't need to return to the clinic
I have just had my 13 week check and all is good
Would highly recommend dr olebrantand the singelberg clinic for surgery abroad.

I had implants put in a long time ago when I was very self critical and not very confident about my appearance. I was so sure that thiswould solve my confidence issues that I hardly did any research and to cut a very long story short, ended up being very poorly advised,misinformed and with implants far too big for my frame. I stayed this big for many years because money to have a correction was always ahuge issue for me. I saved for a long time and by the time I had saved about half I needed for the operation in the UK, I developed acapsular contracture. I needed to find someone who could perform the treatment at less than the UK price but this time I made sure I didmy research properly. I spent hours and hours, researching surgeons and reading reviews. time and time again, I kept coming readinggreat reviews for Dr Oelbrandt at the Singleberg Clinic in Brussels. I tried to find some bad reviews for him but couldn't find any andall the reviews pointed him out not only to be a fantastic surgeon but also approachable, friendly and straight talking. I certainlywanted someone to be straight talking and honest. I really wanted to know what was achievable and I also needed to know a price upfront.I booked in to see him in London for my consultation, there were many weekends to choose from and I was absolutely delighted to know itwas him I was going to meet and have my consultation with and not a representative like the first operation I had. I was warmly greetedby Tahira at my consultation and made to feel at ease by her warm and friendly chatter. I was also seen very promptly by Dr. Oelbrandt.He was indeed very friendly and I didn't feel a little bit nervous at all. What I most liked about him, is that he was straight to thepoint. This was not a sales pitch but an information session, put to me so that I could make and informed decision. He did not assumethat my mind was made up, in fact he encouraged me to take some time to consider all that he had said and to see if it was right for me.He showed me before and after photos and tried to show me as accurately as possible what I could hope to achieve. Up until this point Ihad not made up my mind whether I was going to have new implants put in or have them taken out altogether and Dr. Oelbrandt was verypatient in telling me the pros and cons of both. I also liked the fact that he gave me in writing, the break down of all the costsinvolved for both.
I was amazed at the price, which to me was just the icing on the cake. I think I had made my mind up that he wasthe right surgeon for me, before I left the consultation but taking his advice on board, I took a few days to consider it. He even saidI could have another free consultation if I wanted but I didn't need it. Throughout the next few weeks, all the information I needed fortravelling to Belgium, transport, hotels, all about the clinic, what I needed, the extra money I might need for taxis etc was emailed tome. Once I had paid for my operation, I was also given mobile numbers for my surgeon and the clinic.
I liked the thought that nomatter what happened, I would be able to call someone on my travels. The Eurostar journey was very easy and the clinic itself was easyto find. Having said that, it is also easy to find using a mobile phone Sat Nav so data roaming is a good idea.
The clinic was veryclean and in a lovely square in Beveren and I had another consultation with Dr Oelbrandt the evening before my surgery which I foundvery helpful to calm my nerves. I stayed at the hotel Beveren which is about 3 miles away so factor in the cost of taxis. if you are onyour own, as I was, it is worth asking the doctor if there is anyone else on their own and willing to taxi share. I was lucky and met upwith another lady staying in my hotel. I now have a friend which is a bonus!
On the morning of the surgery I went to the clinic in avery quiet and contemplative mood. Thank goodness for Dr Oelbrandts wonderful team, his surgical assistant and anaesthetist had melaughing so much, it really put me at ease and before I knew it, I was waking up after my op in a private room. I have to say that I haddecided to have my implants taken out for good and to have a breast uplift and capsular contracture removal done at the same time. I wasworried that I would end up being flat chested which would have been a shock to me after being so large and not to mention it would havebeen very obvious to my friends who I hadn't told.
Immediately after surgery, I cannot tell you the relief and almost euphoria Ifelt at no longer having breasts that felt alien to me. It took a while for the grogginess to go but I was soon up and about and readyto go back to the hotel, which is fantastic by the way, to rest. I had very little pain and hardly took any painkillers but I am toldthis is the nature of this operation, much less painful than an implant. I was also told everyone is different though so perhaps I wasjust lucky. I was definitely ready to go home 2 days later, after one more consultation with Dr Oelbrandt and felt more than well enoughto travel back.
Once home I felt a bit nervous about changing my dressing s but again, was given all the information I needed. When Ifirst saw my breasts I had to take a bit of a deep breath. I had been warned it wouldn't be pretty but I looked like Frankensteinsmonster. My breasts were swollen, bruised and the scarring/stitches looked awful. My nipples looked like salami and I thought, "whathave I done?" I went into panic mode and sent photos to the doctor along the lines of, "is this normal?" He was so patient and let meknow it was perfectly normal and that it would all settle in time. I stated rubbing Bio oil into my scars about 2 weeks later and havedone it every day since. My breasts now are absolutely perfect both for my body size and in shape. I have healed so quickly and I stillhave a decent cup size. I cannot begin to tell you how over the moon I am. It has changed me as a person and I am now the confidentperson, I should have been all through my twenties and thirties. I cannot thank Dr Oelbrandt and his team enough, an amazing experienceand an amazingly skilled surgeon. THANK YOU!!!!
